I would, in a sense, disagree that Hitler and the OKH and OKW were not obsessed with Stalingrad. My reasoning for this is that all levels of German command ignored their logistics and manpower deficiencies to continue the attack, well beyond the point where they should have stopped and made a major reassessment of what 6th Army and 4th Panzer Army could achieve. The fact they turned a blind eye to the depletion of the armies speaks of an obsession of some form. However, it was not just Hitler who fell prey to this, but also the German General Staff, newspapers and Propaganda Ministry. It was also a prestige issue, but only as far as the Wehrmacht showed a reluctance early in the war to give up territory they had conquered, even when this defied logic.
